Ken, I have a brace and a bunch of bits but seldom use it unless I'm down in an area where I can't use a drill motor. Most people look at me like I'm nuts because they have never seen or used one.

My "Yankee" got stolen years ago and I haven't found a replacement.

I recently had a sprinkler system installed and the guys needed to check the depth. They couldn't find their tape measure and so I handed them my old time folding carpenter ruler(called a rule). They looked at it and had no idea what it was. I had to demonstrate.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
